You may have guessed it already: Sea curtains in cannot be a long-term solution to prevent loss & damage caused by ice melt and sea-level rise. Only curbing emissions can be! It's like taking an aspirin for tooth cavities—it won't save you from seeing a dentist, nor does it fix the cause.

#PostCapitalism

For decades leftists have cheerfully called some especially troublesome developments in our society #LateStageCapitalism or post capitalism - acting like those developments were a sign that capitalism has run its course and we'd be freed from it soon.

I never understood that, as the natural successor to (hyper) capitalism is fascism, not socialism.
I wish I had been wrong.

Mr Sycamore is molting today. Lots of papery bark at his feet as he sheds last year’s coat.

Sun rises golden yellow as we look from a new vantage point outside the fence. Rocky was eating while I schlepped the bins.

The third image looks down the side street from our gate. We’re looking just to the south of the sunrise.

The fourth image looks down the street toward the west. The rising sun is illuminating the clouds from the side giving the image shown here.

Giving people is the best kind. Because you never have to deliver.
This is your lesson.

"My Secret to Success"

I think I can—that’s all that counts.
As long as I pour every ounce
Of being into my blind belief
Despite reality, the chief
Concern is not how competent
I am or even my intent,
But rather whether I’ve thrown out
Every last shred of reasonable doubt.

Is there a formula for happiness? I learned about "False Hopes" from Phil Stutz's books. It is a belief we have about the future, starting with "I will be happy when..." This ties our happiness to something outside of ourselves, like a "magic person or thing." Stutz asserts that we need to learn to manage our own feelings and take responsibility for our emotions. If there is a formula, it seems to involve a lot of work.

“The Ephebians believed that every man should have the vote (provided that he wasn't poor, foreign, nor disqualified by reason of being mad, frivolous, or a woman). Every five years someone was elected to be Tyrant, provided he could prove that he was honest, intelligent, sensible, and trustworthy. Immediately after he was elected, of course, it was obvious to everyone that he was a criminal madman and totally out of touch…”

@esther
A lot of commentators do that at the end of a really depressing interview. At first we thought they meant it, "I see a lot of promise in the next generation. Many I talk to <ANECDOTE>". Its a fast, easy way to end on something that feels positive.

We think it often just creates #falseHope.Many young people are confused and distracted.

Part of it is likely #behaviourChange language and #suggestion to guide the young listener. "I'm young, I can <ANECDOTE>". Its still dishonest, though.

#Parking bay sensors exist only to provide #FalseHope - it is so exceedingly rare that a #GreenLight indicates an actually vacant spot.
